Satis

(G/R Satis) - "She Who Shoots (Arrows)" Consort to Khnum of Abu (and sometimes of Montu at Uaset), Satet is protectress of Kemet's southern border, felling the enemies of the Two Lands with Her bow. She is depicted as a woman wearing the Hedjet (White Crown) of Upper Kemet decorated with either ostrich plumes (called an atef crown, like one commonly worn by Wesir), or more often, gazelle or antelope horns. Satet protected the source of the Nile and was said to purify the ruler with jars of its sacred waters. She is sometimes attributed as being the mother of Anuket.
